DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the disclosure without creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

In view of the manual statistics of plant planting data, the statistical efficiency of plant planting data is low. Especially for some crops with a large planting area, the statistics of plant planting data will become very complicated. The embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for measuring plant planting data, and a method for planning operating route, device and system to solve the problem, which may be used for the measurement of crop planting data with image recognition. It is convenient and quick to obtain plant planting data without the influence of the planting area. Moreover, the plant planting data measured in the embodiments of the disclosure may be used not only to predict plant yield, but also to observe the growth condition of the plant. The plant planting data is used to plan an operating route in a case that the plant needs to be operated.

Embodiment 1

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for planning operating route. The method for planning operating route includes the following steps.

In step S110, plant planting data of an operating region is acquired from an operating region image for operating route planning using a method for measuring plant planting data.

In step S130, an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region is planned according to the plant planting data of the operating region.

The method for measuring plant planting data is to measure plant planting data based on an image recognition technology such as training and learning. The image recognition technology may be a deep network learning technology or other image recognition technologies. For example, simple color recognition, shape recognition, image segmentation, edge recognition may be used to separate the required plant planting data from an operating region image. The image recognition technologies may be used to quickly separate the required plant planting data of the operating region from the operating region image, and plan an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region according to the plant planting data of the operating region, thereby improving the accuracy of operating execution, avoiding the phenomenon of blind operation, and improving the mapping efficiency.

The mobile device includes unmanned aerial vehicles, aircrafts, tractors, cultivators, harvesters, and intelligent robots. The unmanned aerial vehicles may be used to spray pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds in regions to be operated. The tractors, the cultivators and the harvesters may be used to cultivate and harvest farmlands. The intelligent robots may perform automatic picking, cotton sharpening, laser weeding and insect removal in regions to be operated.

It is to be noted that the operating route planned in the embodiment of the disclosure may include one or more of an arc-shaped route, a spiral route, a concentric circle route, a broken-line route, and an in-situ rotation route. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the arc-shaped route is to first determine a plurality of parallel operating routes of an operation in a region to be operated, and connect the operating routes end to end into a continuous operating route. The spiral route is an operating route spiral outward like a sea snail, which rotates outward gradually from an operating center point. The concentric circle route includes a plurality of concentric circle routes centered on the operating center. The broken-line route is a broken-line route formed by connecting necessary operating points in sequence. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the broken-line route is flexibly set to a free route. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the in-situ rotation route is used to characterize the in-situ rotation of an operating machine. For example, in a case that an unmanned aerial vehicle sprays chemical liquid on a fruit tree, it may be uniformly sprayed by in-situ rotation.

In order to humanize the operating planning method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, after acquiring plant planting data of an operating region and before planning an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region, the method for planning operating route provided by the embodiment of the disclosure further includes the following step: In step S120 shown in FIG. 1, a selection operation is performed on the plant planting data. As shown in FIG. 2, the step specifically includes the following steps:

In step S121, the plant planting data of the operating region is visually marked so that a user can conveniently and quickly find the plant planting data.

In step S122, plant planting data of a plant region to be operated is acquired from the visually marked plant planting data of the operating region according to a selection instruction of the user.

During embodiments of disclosure, the visually marked plant planting data of the operating region may be displayed on a mobile phone, a tablet, and other terminal devices. The user sees the visually marked plant planting data of the operating region on the terminal device, and outputs a selection instruction according to actual needs. The terminal device acquires the plant planting data of a plant region to be operated from the visually marked plant planting data of the operating region according to the selection instruction of the user. That is to say, the function of a selection operation in the embodiment of the disclosure may be integrated on the terminal device, and may also be integrated on a processor with the functions of a line planning method.

The operation that an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region is planned according to the plant planting data of the operating region includes the following step.

An operating route of the mobile device in the plant region to be operated is planned according to the plant planting data of the plant region to be operated.

Exemplarily, if the terrain of the operating region is relatively flat and the region is relatively large in plant radius, the operating route of a single plant may be planned. For example, in a case that the plant planting data includes plant edge information and plant position information, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation that an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region is planned according to the plant planting data of the operating region includes the following steps:

In step S131 a, an operating center point of each plant is determined according to the plant position information of the operating region, and an operating radius of each plant is determined according to the plant edge information of the operating region. The operating center point of each plant is substantially the geometric center of the plant.

In step S132 a, a plant operating route is generated according to the operating center point of each plant, the operating radius of each plant and an operating width of the mobile device. The plant operating route is used to control the operating route of the mobile device in the operating region.

Specifically, an operating path of each plant is generated according to the operating radius and the operating center point of each plant, and the operating width of the mobile device. In other words, the generated plant operating route is substantially combined from the operating path of each plant.

If the topography of the operating region is stepped, especially if the size of a single plant in the operating region is small, it is impractical to limit the operating mode of the single plant. It is possible to plan an operating route of a stepped region step by step. In view of this, in a case that the plant planting data includes plant edge information and plant position information, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation that an operating route of a mobile device in the operating region is planned according to the plant planting data of the operating region includes the following steps:

In step S131 b, at least one operating center line is determined according to the plant position information, and a plant width corresponding to the at least one operating center line is determined according to the plant edge information. Specifically, a straight line of a width direction of each plant is perpendicular to the corresponding operating center line.

Specifically, the operating center line here refers to a connecting line formed by the operating center points of all the plants in each stepped region, which may be a curve, a straight line, or a wavy line. Each operating center line corresponds to a plant width. The plant width may be an average width of all the plants corresponding to the operating center line, or the width of a plant with the largest width among all the plants corresponding to the operating center line.

In step S132 b, a plant operating route is generated according to the operating width of the mobile device, each operating center line and the corresponding plant width. The plant operating route is used to control the operating route of the mobile device in the operating region. Specifically, in one embodiment of the disclosure, the plant operating route is substantially the sum of the plant operating paths on each stepped region.

It is to be noted that the “operation” in the embodiment of the disclosure may be operations such as spraying insecticides or nutrients, or performing monitoring tasks on the plants in the operating region, which are not listed here. For the final purpose of “operation”, the best goal should be to complete the operation of each part of each plant. As for how to achieve the best goal, it can be detected by repeated operations according to the generated plant operating route through the mobile device. Of course, other achievable detection modes are not excluded.

Embodiment 2

The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a method for measuring plant planting data, which may be used for acquiring plant planting data of an operating region by operating route planning, and may, of course, also be used to analyze plant growth conditions. The method for measuring plant planting data includes the following steps.

In step S220, image information of a planting region is received. The image information of the planting region may be provided by an image acquisition device such as a mapping device or a camera. The image information includes, but is not limited to, one or more piece of mapping image information, map information, and picture information.

In step S230, the image information of the planting region is processed using a preset recognition model to obtain plant planting data.

It can be understood that the method for measuring plant planting data provided in the embodiment of the disclosure may also be output according to actual needs. As shown in FIG. 6, if output is required, step S240 is included. Plant planting data is output according to actual needs for further disclosure.

As can be seen from the above, in the method for measuring plant planting data provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, a preset recognition model is used to process image information of a planting region to obtain plant planting data to simplify the statistical process of plant planting data, thereby improving the statistical efficiency of plant planting data, making route planning more accurate, and avoiding the problems of low statistical efficiency and complicated statistical process caused by manual statistics of plant planting data in the planting region.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the disclosure, in a case that the image information of the planting region is processed using a preset recognition model, the preset recognition model is a model with an image recognition function, or some algorithms with color recognition, as long as it can recognize plant data from an image.

In order to make the recognized results more accurate, the preset recognition model in the embodiment of the disclosure is a deep network model, but the deep network model needs training and learning in order to efficiently recognize the image information of the planting region. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, before receiving image information of a planting region, the method for measuring plant planting data provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes the following steps:

In step S210, a deep network model is trained and learned using historical information of a planting region. As shown in FIG. 7, the step specifically includes the following steps:

In step S211, historical information of the planting region is received. The historical information of the planting region includes historical image information and historical plant calibration information corresponding to the historical image information.

In step S212, historical plant graphic features are extracted from the historical image information, which may be specifically implemented by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model as shown in FIG. 3, and may, of course, also be recognized by other image recognition models.

In step S213, the historical plant graphic features and the historical plant calibration information are processed using a deep learning mode to obtain a loss value of the deep network model.

In step S214, the loss value of the deep network model is optimized using the historical plant calibration information to obtain a deep network model, so that the result of processing the image information of the planting region using the deep network model is more accurate. The deep network model includes a recognition strategy for optimized plant planting data.

Specifically, the optimization method may be implemented using a reverse transfer optimization method, and of course, other optimization methods may be selected.

In order to facilitate the subsequent disclosure of the deep network model for image recognition, as shown in FIG. 7, the method for measuring plant planting data provided in the embodiment of the disclosure further includes step S215, in which the deep network model is stored. The deep network model may be stored in a storage component 130 (shown in FIG. 10) or memory with a storage function.

Exemplarily, the historical plant calibration information provided in the embodiment of the disclosure includes historical plant edge calibration information and/or historical plant type calibration information. As shown in FIG. 8, the operation that the historical plant graphic features and the historical plant calibration information are processed using a deep learning mode to obtain a loss value of the deep network model at this time includes the following step.

A Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) model is used to perform image segmentation on the historical plant graphics features to obtain a plant historical image segmentation result. The plant historical image segmentation result is substantially a series of plant edge track point prediction information. A plant edge formed by the plant edge track point prediction information is an irregular edge.

The FPN model is based on a feature extraction network, which may be a common network such as ResNet or DenseNet, and may be used in target detection, instance segmentation, gesture recognition, facial recognition, and other disclosures. A pre-training model is taken under a commonly used deep learning framework and may be used to implement FPN.

Target sizes in an image are various. Objects in a data set cannot cover all scales, so it is necessary to use an image pyramid (downsampling with different resolutions) to assist a CNN in learning. But this speed is too slow, so only a single scale can be used for prediction, and some people will take the intermediate result to predict. This kind of architecture is widely used in a case that there is auxiliary information and auxiliary loss function.

FPN improves the above method in a very clever way. In addition to the lateral connection, it also adds a top-down connection. The results from the top to the bottom and the results obtained from the side are fused together by adding to obtain feature maps of different resolutions, and they all contain semantic information of an original deepest feature map.

In order to verify an error between the plant historical image segmentation result and actual plant edge calibration information, the method further includes: obtaining a historical plant image segmentation loss value Lmask according to the plant historical image segmentation result and the historical plant edge calibration information.

And/or, a Region Proposal Network (RPN) model is used to process the historical plant graphic features to obtain a target plant region result. The target plant region result is substantially a series of plant edge track point prediction information, but the difference from the plant historical image segmentation result is that a plant edge formed by the plant edge track point prediction information is a regular circle, so as to further use the plant edge track point prediction information to obtain plant position prediction information.

The RPN model is a fully convolutional network that may perform end-to-end training for specific tasks to generate proposals. The input of RPN is an image. The output is divided into two branches, one is the probability of target and non-target, and the other is four parameters of bbox, which are center coordinates x, y of bbox, and a width w and a length h of bbox. In order to obtain an output region proposal, a small network is used to slide on the last convolutional layer feature map of five convolutional layers. Each sliding window is mapped to a lower-dimensional feature. Finally, two fully connected layers in parallel are formed, namely a box regression layer and a box classification layer.

In order to verify an error between the plant position prediction information obtained from the target plant region result and the actual plant edge calibration information, the method further includes: obtaining a target plant region regression loss value Lbox according to the target plant region result and the historical plant edge calibration information.

And/or, the historical plant graphic features are processed using the RPN model to obtain target plant type information, and a target plant type regression loss value Lcls is obtained according to the target plant type information and the historical plant type calibration information.

A loss value of the deep network model is obtained according to one or more of the historical plant image segmentation loss value Lmask, the target plant region regression loss value Lbox and the target plant type regression loss value Lcls.

The historical plant image segmentation loss value Lmask, the target plant region regression loss value Lbox and the target plant type regression loss value Lcls are substantially a scalar. The process of obtaining a loss value of the deep network model according to one or more of the historical plant image segmentation loss value Lmask, the target plant region regression loss value Lbox and the target plant type regression loss value Lcls is equivalent to adding one or more of the historical plant image segmentation loss value Lmask, the target plant region regression loss value Lbox and the target plant species regression loss value Lcls. At this time, the loss value of the deep network model is optimized using the historical plant calibration information, so that the recognition strategy for plant planting data can be more accurate.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 9, the operation that the image information of the planting region is processed using a deep network model to obtain plant planting data includes the following steps:

In step S231, extraction of plant graphic features to be tested from the image information of the planting region is controlled according to the deep network model.

In step S232, processing of the plant graphic features to be tested is controlled according to the deep network model to obtain plant planting data.

The operation that processing of the plant graphic features to be tested is controlled according to the deep network model to obtain plant planting data includes the following steps:

The FPN model is controlled to perform image segmentation on the plant graphic features to be tested according to the deep network model to obtain plant edge information.

The plant edge information includes plant crown shape, plant size, and the like.

And/or, the FPN model is controlled to process the plant graphic features to be tested to obtain plant growth information according to the deep network model. A plant growth condition is determined according to the plant edge information.

The plant growth information is used to characterize the growth condition of a plant, including whether the plant is germinating, the germination rate of the plant, the flowering condition of the plant, the pollination condition of the plant, the condition of the plant suffering from pests and weeds, and the maturity of the plant, etc. In one embodiment, plant diseases and insect pests are automatically recognized by a deep recognition model. By calibrating damaged pictures such as pests and weeds in the historical image information of the planting region, the plant diseases and insect pests may be automatically recognized through the deep recognition model, thereby monitoring plant health conditions, and generating plant growth information.

And/or, the RPN model is controlled to process the plant graphic features to be tested to obtain plant position information according to the deep network model.

According to the deep network model, combined with the image information of the planting region, information such as the degree of sparseness of the plant, the position of the plant, and the distribution of the plant may be obtained. For example, the image information of the planting region comes from geographic coordinates 23.06.32 degrees north latitude and 113.15.53 degrees east longitude. The geographic location of the plant is determined according to an image sampling geographic location and a relative position of the plant in the image.

And/or, the RPN model is controlled to process the plant graphic features to be tested to obtain plant quantity information according to the deep network model. Of course, the plant quantity information may also be obtained by the plant position information.

And/or, the RPN model is controlled to process the historical plant graphic features to obtain plant type information according to the deep network model.

It should be noted that the data output by the deep network model is input to the RPN model, so that the RPN model can process or analyze the above data output by the deep network model.

If plant planting data needs to be output, the deep network model is used to process the image information of the planting region, and after obtaining the plant planting data, the method for measuring plant planting data provided by the embodiment of the disclosure further includes the following steps.

One or more piece of the plant edge information, the plant position information, the plant growth information, the plant quantity information and the plant type information are output as plant planting data. Exemplarily, Table 1 lists output plant edge information and plant position information.
